graduates of colleges cease to solicit patronage in the above ways, they cannot 
hope for the profession to be looked upon with much respect. It was hinted that 
at the next annual meeting a public exposure of all guilty members would be 
made, and charges preferred, unless some change took place in the near future. 
Dr. J. S. Butler (State Veterinarian) was called on to give an account of the 
work he had performed since receiving his commission. The doctor gave a very 
excellent history of his researches in different parts of the State, and a full report 
of the cases of splenic apoplexy in cattle near Toledo, and several cases of glanders 
near Sandusky City and Marblehead; also that he was proud to announce thaj 
to the best of his knowledge pleuro-pneumonia contagiosa had been effectually 
stamped out in Ohio. 
Dr. J. S. Townsend, being present, was called on and spoke on Veterinary 
Education. He expressed himself as being much pleased to see such a deep in. 
terest taken in the profession, and the growing desire of those present to see that 
only competent men were allowed to pass the examinations of veterinary colleges 
and to go out and practice the profession. He also remarked that there were 
prospects of the State Board of Agriculture establishing a veterinary college in 
connection with the State University. 
Resolutions were passed instructing each member to report at once to Dr. 
Fair, Corresponding Secretary, any peculiar and interesting case or outbreak of 
disease, the same to be published in the American Veterinary Review, whenever 
the profession may be benefited by so doing. 
The Association meets at Mt. Vernon, O., the second Tuesday of January, 
1886, at which time the election of officers will take place. Papers will be read 
and discussed, reports will be had from the different principals of veterinary 
colleges, giving their views on the requirements for admission and the propriety 
of lengthening the course of study. The meeting will be interesting, therefore a 
full attendance of all qualified veterinary surgeons is earnestly requested.
